CSCI 8322 Unconventional Computing
Computation exists beyond the world of digital electronics. It is occurring in every biological cell, in the neurons in your brain, and even among most basic components of the universe. This course covers several models of computation that are each meant to capture the behavior of these molecular/nano-scale systems. Students will devise algorithms, analyze constructions, and prove theorems for each of these models. Topics will include the theory of chemical reaction networks, computing with thermodynamics, molecular self-assembly, and more.
